New Interface

#10

<space key> => "Real Time"
That takes you to the homepage and brings up the new game menu immediately for you.

Yet, for different reasons I'm not a fan of this implementation. I don't think a full-screen menu is necessary for a desktop targeted website, and we should be able to develop a menu more conducive to the environment that the application is being used in.

We have a mobile app for the mobile users, so the website should be targeted at desktop users. So a desktop-appropriate interface should be used.

This is actually the remodel that I suggested we use:

The thick and thin of it is that we had to restructure the menu, that much was inevitable as the amount of pages and services that we offered was too much to squeeze into the header. But I think a better approach could be found.

>But worry not, I don't take it seriously, and your old habits will be fixed within a few days.

Spoken like true Steve Jobs wannabe!

Wasn't open source supposed to take suggestions from users?

This change is bad and it's a change for a sake of the change and to look like a mobile app. Please, bring back what was functional.

I agree with @KMagi , is change is bad

lichess I thought was a simple, easy and fast interface. What need is there to change this?

# 10 Your layout looks much better than the one that is now being implemented.

At the moment I have the strange feeling that the site consists of two completely different parts .

Like Clarkey , I do not like the fact that we are treated as users of mobile devices. That's exactly were Windows 8 failed as I remember correctly.

Anyhow, I still think that Lichess is the best chesssite around and I hope they keep up the good work.

And don't take offence. I believe that lichess is the best place to play chess on the Internet and this is why I think that it should stay functional. This full screen menu is simply redundant. It doesn't add new functionality, it doesn't fit the rest of the website stylishly.

It has become fashionable designs for touch screen. I ended up hating gnome and unity because of it.

Don't like this new interface at all!!

____#12 & #13 have merit!! Thibault I thought this was all about democracy/ access/ and community -- your #9 remarks are truly cavalier!!
_____And, as I said in the other forum, a conduit for explaining changes and running them "in parallel" (my mainframe mentality) might alow you to guage real -- rather than annecdotal -- responses. (Then, -- God forbid == we could decide if change is required).... Since the menus are -- functionally -- different switches to turn the same device on & off, you might be truely 'user friendly' by allowing each user to CHOOSE either the original or 'dressed up' formats ???????????????

____@Uncrowned defender of continuity ____You have a valid point!! If they had asked me I would have looked for ways to simply modify the old. If that screen goes away entirely, I would have a HUGE objection
